NetRange, a global provider of white-labelled, turnkey Smart TV and over-the-top (OTT) ecosystems, has been selected by Tencent Video to power the international expansion of its WeTV service by reaching new Smart TV and connected device users through the NetRange Smart TV app store.
WeTV, a global video streaming platform offered by Tencent Video, can now leverage NetRange’s single integration process, eliminating the need for complex content agreements with individual device brands and manufacturers.
With NetRange, an ACCESS CO company, providing content to millions of Smart TVs, set-top-boxes and other connected devices, viewers can now enjoy WeTV on as many devices as possible. WeTV achieved over 60 million downloads globally in 2021 and over 35 million subscribers on YouTube.
Calling the addition of WeTV content to the NetRange app store as a “win-win” scenario, Michi Uemetsu, CTO of ACCESS CO, said, “With this one agreement, WeTV will be available on millions of devices.
“We enable consumers to access WeTV on Smart TVs and other connected devices and our device partners get to broaden their content offering, with WeTVs multi-language offering of entertainment, movies, anime and much more.”
He maintained, “What’s more, we provide a worry-free integration process that takes just a month. We’re delighted that we’ve been able to help Tencent Video reach millions of new viewers for WeTV and look forward to WeTV enjoying explosive growth in South-east Asia and beyond.”
